Explore Vietnam →03 — Staying longer or leaving
Stay a little longer.
Or get ready for what's next.
Whether you're thinking about extending your time in Vietnam or planning a smooth departure, here's where to start.
Stay longer
Your options for a longer stay
Vietnam e-visas cannot be extended — most travellers who want to stay longer need to exit and re-enter, or convert to a different visa category through a licensed sponsor.
- Understand e-visa limits and re-entry options
- Residence permits, work visas and long-term stays
- When you need a licensed partner (and what that means)
- Overstay rules and how to avoid them
Extension and permit services involve a licensed partner. We provide advice and facilitate — all applications go through a properly licensed entity.
Preparing to leave
A smooth departure from Vietnam
Departure from Vietnam has its own customs rules and airport procedures. A few things to know before you get to the airport.
- Exit customs: what you can take out and declare
- Connecting flights and transit requirements
- Documents to carry and exit stamp process
- Airport check-in, security and boarding flow

04 — Remember Vietnam
The trip ends.
The connection stays.

★★★★★
"The fast-track service was a lifesaver. I landed at Noi Bai, walked past the massive queue, and was out in 12 minutes flat. Absolutely worth every dollar."
★★★★★
"I was confused about which e-visa to apply for. Found the exact answer on EntryVN in 5 minutes — far clearer than the official government website."
★★★★★
"Bought a Mobifone SIM through EntryVN — it was waiting at the arrival hall. No searching around the airport, no queue. Exactly what I needed after a long flight."
